+ You need a tablet pen to be able to view the brushes like the way I have them up there. Otherwise, if you have a mouse, you’ll just have to click around blindly until you find the right brush.

+ Mouse users! Play with the opacity and flow of the brush to get the results like a tablet has. =]

+ Save frequently! After you have done a step, SAVE. The best shortcut EVER invented is CTRL + S

+ If you would like to shade your picture on a different layer but don’t know how to get your colouring to stay in the lines use this method. On your flat base colour layer, DON’T LOCK IT. And make sure that everything is coloured inside of your lineart. …OKAY. Instead, press CTRL down on your keyboard and then click the flat colour layer. This will select all of the flat colour. Make a new layer on top of that and you can start shading! This is VERY handy if you want to do multiple shading colours on top of eachother, or if you want to do markings …OR ANYTHING. If you are annoyed by the squiggly lines, hit CTRL + H to hide them.
